More quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda
I have two wonderful, supportive and very practical parents who were like, you're really talented and really creative. You should be a lawyer because there's a safe path there. And I knew that I was never going to be a lawyer. And I knew that I wanted to make movies, and I wanted to write shows.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I loved musicals. I loved being in the school play and being lucky enough to get parts in the school play. But they always took place in some other time and place.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got the job [in Moana], and the next day I was on a plane to New Zealand, where the rest of the team was already doing research, and meeting with different choirs, and sort of really soaking up the music, the musical world of, the musical heritage of this part of the world.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I still look at that water, and I look at Moana's hair, and I'm just like, How is this even happening? It's such an incredible mix of technical mastery and wizardry. It's really incredible. It's layers and layers and layers. It's not unlike building a musical. It's really pretty cool.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Ed Koch once said that New York City is where immigrants come to audition for America. That's what happened to my parents that's what happened to me.

Lin-Manuel Miranda
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I didn't do any press, I didn't do any meetings, I just wrote all day, 'cause I'd meet, via Skype, with the creative team, at five p.m., and then I would have my seven o'clock curtain.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Once George Washington said, I have to step down the so the country can move on.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The theater should always be a safe space.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got the job [in Moana project] about six months before we started rehearsals. No, seven and a half months before we started at the Public, and so, it's been my ocean of calm throughout the Hamilton phenomenon.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I think one of the things that makes theater special is first of all, it's one of the last places you put your phone away. And second of all, it's one of the last places where we all have a common experience together.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm not going to hang out with celebrities, I'm not going to parties. I have two songs due for Moana next week, and I'm going to go and spend some time with Maui and Moana in the ocean, in my mind.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I remind myself Vincent van Gogh died without having sold a single painting. Like, art is not measured by the trappings that people attached to it. It's the thing itself, and so, as you know, it's been a dream of mine to write songs for Disney, and so, it's really exciting to finally hear. It's two and a half years.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
If you think in terms of topping, you're in the wrong business. You can't think that way.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Well, hello. My name is Lin. But if you're dyslexic, call me Nil.
